Our Sports Nutrition Partner
The Performance Plate

We were happy to invite Jane from The Performance Plate to our residential football camp at Leighton Park School over Easter to deliver an educational workshop on the importance of the right types of foods that young athletes should eat, what they do, and when to consume them.

Our players also had the chance to create their very own smoothies and energy balls using Jane's recipes as guidance.

Jane comes with a wealth of experience as a freelance Sports Dietitian. She works with Brentford FC, Locker27, Kingston Grammar School, and many more. 

You can learn more about Jane and The Performance Plate by visiting the website here.

The feedback from our players at camp was overwhelmingly positive, they loved the short presentation and the interactive learning. Hopefully the players take this away and create their own at home!

What our players created:

smoothie-pic

Berry Smoothie

When to have this: This smoothie can be consumed pre-training, post-training, or post-match. This would be great to consume alongside a pre-training/pre-match breakfast to optimise energy stores before exercising. This recipe also contains 2 of your 5-A-Day!
balls

Energy Balls

Why/When should I have this? These energy balls are a tasty and healthy snack. They provide energy from oats, sweetness from honey and dried fruits, and healthy fats from seeds. The dark chocolate makes them a yummy treat!
